THE OLD FOGY.
Of all the beings ever iormed,
By i1at1ire’.~1 laws or (‘md

\Vho delve the mine or till the ground
Or walk upon the sod

There's none so Stl‘LLll£{8 in all his ways
\Vho travels on lifc’s stage

A3 the old fogy \v":o has lived
111 every slime and age

'l'hrough wi111li11g <l:11'k 211111 rlevioui ways
llt: tl‘ll-3~l his barque to steer

And Gods and devils swarming round
Oit fills his soul with fear.

And in the time of greatest drought
He k11ows‘tw’ll rriin full soon

If he can hang his powder horn
Upon the crooked Moon.

And when he comes to kill his hogs
He watches well the day

When pork will swell instead of shrink
And never fry away

And here upon our own good earth
He hardly has :1. home

He plows and pi:i11:s and reaps and sows
All on the Silver Moon

And when he hears the fi1ldlc’s notes
His heart will qurikc with fear

He thinks that lieziveii is for :1v1 ay
And Hell is very near.

And on the sricred L‘5abb.i‘}i day
He does not oven grin

And will. not kiss his wife nn1l'babes
For four of mortal sin

And while he plodsi f.:’s weary way
No sliusliinc lights his gloom

The birds no music bring to liin
The flowers yield no }~8rflll11€‘-

The praftling babe upon his knee
With innocence and mirth

Can bring no joy into his soul
No pleasure round his lierirth.

Marsh Land and Celery.

I7ndo11bte1lly it was owing to the
p1'edor11in:1nc1> of ll1ill‘Sl1 l1111d that 21
party of su1'vc_v01's sent out to s11rv1-_v
the territory of .\Iicl1lg;1n reported
buck to the g'0V(‘l‘lllll6Ilt that the 1211111
was not w111'tl1 Sll1'VP‘_Vlllg. That is the
tr;11liti1m:1l Sl301‘_V, :111d it is perhaps
enough punislim-111t for them that they
were not pc1'initt1>1l to taste the t1>otl1-
soine celery or lizirvcst the z1b11111l;111t
timothy. The time is within the 11112111-
cry of men living 211111111111 l{:1l;1n1;17.11o
when it was impossible to b11y :1 loud
of timothy or clover, the only hay of-
fered f1.1i' sale being course, wild, 1112111511
hay.

Marsh land is particularly :1d2iptc(l
to two crops, timothy and celery, and
011 general principles if :1 l‘211'mei' owns
marsh, it better be put to hay; if :1
gardner near town it is best adapted to
celery.

The credit of subduing the low lands
around towns, is due mainly to Hol-
landers, for they have opened 21 new
indust1'y——celei‘y growing, and a man
who produces sometliing out of the
soil is worth to a town or nation :1
dozen merchants who are only a con-
venience. The drziinage necessary to
celery growing is worth everything
for the heultli of towns. The sllipping
season for celery closes with the l1oli-
days, and by that date 1883, 1,000 tons
will have been shipped from Kalamazoo
alo11e,:1nd other towns 11i'c eiigaging
largely iii the industry.

All marsh land will raise celery but
must be drained. Upland must be
drained, for that mzitter. Intelligent
farmers know that clover is more than
a manure. Those long roots are as
valuable as drains. If you undertake
to raise celery on overflow marsh you
rnust he prepared to stand the chances.
Some marsh has a clay subsoil. Care
must be taken that there is suflicient
peat above the clay to render the land
lasting. Marsh with clay subsoil is
generally found near streams and at
foot of hills. A clay subsoil marsh is
more difficult to drain, holding mois-
ture longer. Marsh which is all peat
is considered the best for celery. It is
spongy, drains easily, as may
be inferred from the fact that
after a heavy shower the land
may be worked immediately,
it also stands drouth better, retaining
always a certain amount of moisture.
The great depth of peat is of itself a
constant drain.

The business is increasing to such
proportions that fzirniers owning
marsh are enquiring of celery growers
if they had better try the industry.

hire the ditches dug in which to lay the
tile will cost as 1n11cl1 inure. This is
reckoned for 2% i11cl1 tile, the common
size. The writer was shown a. square
plot of marsh across which one could
look diagonally, and see a strip of about
halfa rod on which nothing saleable
grew, because it needed a. drain across
there. Tile draining costs more than
open ditching, but ditches Waste land.
A farmer may tile drain a marsh so
that a. team can be driven upon it,
but not so with open ditches. The bet-
ter the marsh is drained, the hand-
somer crops look in time of drouth.

Marsh well subdued, drained and
seeded make the best permanent mead-
ows. If a sand hillis convenient, a. thin
covering of sand warms the soil. Cel-
ery growers do not use sand because it
rusts the celery. One must not think
marsh land is rich because it is black
and looks rich. Celery men raise two or
three crops on the same land and manure
each crop, because marsh is so light and
porous that each dressing of fertiliz-

Average gain M-.1.y 25, of the hay

The total weight of hay fed steers on
May 25. was 3,470, making an average

Average gain for each steer of ensi-
lage fed over hay fed, 64 pounds.

The probabl—- reson Why the steers
did not gain more when warm weath-
commenced was because they were al-
ready i11 good _butcher’s condition

From the aboye it will be notir-ed
that the ensilage fed steers came out
64 pounds ahead, when they had the

and so, on the the “public be d—-d”
principle, they are trying to take
the dressed beef business by the
throat and strangle it. In Commis-
siouer Fink’s reply to Armour & Co.,
he says: _

“I am inclined to think that lhe
principle which you advaccc, namely
to base the adju-tment of “dressed
be f and live stock rates upon the rel-
alive cost of performing the service’ is
just as objectionable as tho one which
you condemn, as it may lead to pre-
cisely the same results. In the first
place you will find it very ditlicult to
ascertain what is the relative cost of
carryingthese commodities. The cosi
would differ on every rosd._ _By reason
of the equipment and facilities already
in existence upon one road, by reason
of the peculiar trafiic in return cars,
one road may be able to carry livestock
at half the cost per 100 pounds at which
it would carry dressed beef. This

PLASTER.

From good authority we learn that
the Alabastine Company at Grand
Rapids, with whom the State Grange
has a O0T1'LT'8CI'. for a supply of plaster

‘ at a reasonable price, have enlarged

their manufacturing capacity, have
built two large warehouses for addi-

-'tional storage, and have a contract

for mining 15,000 tons of plaster rock
this season, the larger part of which is

’ already piled up under sheds and will

be in the very best condition for grind-
ing when wanted. The company,
through its indefatigable manager,
M. B. Church, have also had an eye
to railroad outlets, and have added
materially to their business facilities
in this direction.

The combination have exhausted
their wits and their energy in trying
to devise some scheme to weaken and
if possible destroy this ever present
enemy to their grasping desires to
control the plaster market. But, like
the patent iight fellows. though
backed by a large amount of capital

» and an unscrupulous determination to

beat the farmers, they have 1' st their

- grip. Their best endeavors to buy or

bulldoze the Alabastine Company
have utterly failed. The Grangeis of
Michigan have for years stood by their
-friends in this plaster business, and

~ we believe they can be depended on
; in the future as in the past.

The Plaster Combination, whether
passive or active, has been for ten long
years an enemy of the farmer, and
should be so known and treated by
every friend of agriculture.

fl!-‘TEEN MONTHS FOR 50 CENTS.

"Will the friends of the VISITOR and
of the Order, give proof of such friend-
ship by adding to our list of subscrib-
ers on this offer.

We will send the VISITOR to all
new subscribers from October 1st to
January, 1885 for 50 cents. We should
like to hear from the Committees ap-
pointed in the Grenges of the State, as
recommended by the State Grange, to
work for the VISITOR. Are the com-
mittees ready to'rep°1't?

Geo. W. HILL of Detroit writes us
that he has a few old accounts against

members of the Order that he will offer
" for sale if not soon settled. This will

probably not alarm delinquents very
much but_l’atrons seem often to forget

..ene of the first and most, impoitant

principles of the Order. The good name
of the Order should not be impaired by
the negligence of here and there an
individual member. We should be

glad to know that Patrons did not ask

credit. It is the bane of business and
all good Patrons will shun it as far as

possible.

xv}; have a jotting of three questions

« from J. F. The first we refer to “Old

15 " for answer. The second to
Iii: giiell, of Little Prairie Ronde

. 01- 13:0. Hebro:-. of Constantine. And

without knowing anything about the
“Columbia Bicycle,” we think it safe
i answer on general principles that
b(')c cles ofany kind are not “of prac-
 use to the farmer.” Next time

ask something harder to answer.

THIS ISSUE-—-NATIONAL GRANGE-—0UR
MAKE-UP.

Our readers may have observed that
this number has rather less original
matter than usual on the first, four'h
and fifth pages, which are finished
some days before the inside of the pa-
per. The inside as you see is about all
original matter and the supply came
in so plentifully afier the outside went
to press, that some good articles are
carried over for the next number.

We are sure our readers will pardon
us for delaying the publication of this
number, that we might present them
the address of Worthy Master Wood-
man, VVe did not like to be ten days be-
hind our contemporaries in presenting
this State Paper in the VISITOR. It will
be read with interest and profit by
thousands of our best citizens and
largely copied into influential papers
over the country. ,

Before our next issue the National
Grange meets in the city of Washing-
ton.

The last session of this body that we

2 attended was when held in Chicagoin

1876. Last year we expected to go to
Indianapolis, but did not see our way
clear to get away from work and did
not go. \Ve have renewed our resolu-
tion to attend the next session of the
National Grange, and if rot prevented
by some unforseen events, shall leave
home on the 19th inst, for Washing
ton. We hope to give our readers in
the next number a “V\’ashington Let-
ter” of our own make. That it will
relate largely to the proceedings of the
National Grange may be ‘expected.
But we may see something else that
we think will interest our readers and
if we do, they will get it.

A PROPOSITION.

Tlios. Mason the recognized agent oi’
the Michigan State Grange doing busi-
ness in Chicago, is doing quite an ex-
tensive business, As a member of the
Order he is desirous of knowing what
proportion of his business is from l’.it-
rons. This he cannot ascertain except
by the aid of the Order.

For the purpose of increasing his
business and more fully developingi;
theobjects for which the agency was
established. Bro. Mason makes the
following offer.

To the Grange making consignments
to him in the year 1884, the net sales
of which shall bring the largest sum
he will give an organ the retail price
of winch is $175.

In case the Grange securing the
prize has an organ, he will give 7.3 vol-
umes of books for a library. And the
Grange second on the list shall have
the organ. The Grange third on the
list shall have :1 free copy for one year
of the GRANGE VISITOR for each of
itsmeinbers. ’l‘o make this practical,
Seci'ctaries of Grzinges must keep an
account of the consignments of mem-
bers and receipts for same. And Bro.
Mason suggests that all who do so, at
the close of the year forward their re-
ports to inc for publication in the
\'isIToiI.

We should be glad to have this
scheme tried. The amount} of Grange
patronage which Mi‘. Mason has should
be known. Let us know whether the
Graiigers of Michigan are deriving any
advantage i'roni the Chicago Grange
agency. If not we certainly ought to
know it. But I take it that the Gran-
gers do derive a. positive benefit, and
the amount of that benefit is what we
want to find out.

THE CRY OF THE ORGANS.

The organs are getting down to their
work and appealing to the voters to
“stand by their party” in the ap-
proaching municipal election. regard-
less of the qualifications or character
of the candidates. This is the province
of a party organ, and for the next few
days we shal probably have a contin
uation of these appeals, with occasion-
al spasms of abuse and slander. T_hus
far this class of work has been confined
to the local columns, but the editorial
writers may be expected to dip their
pens in gall before the week closes,
and proceed to wade into the opposing
tickets in. their usual style. They
would lose their caste as organs if they
should pursue a different policy
thrr-ugh one campaign. The Free
Press has already uncovered its old
war cry of fraud, in the absence of any
other material, and this morning it
makes a vigorous appeal to the demo-
crats to stand by their colors. It de-
mandsa democratic victory not be-
cause its candidates are any better
men than the republicans have in the
.fie1d, but as a rebuke to the alleged
“flagrant abuse of power on the part
of tile republican ring.” What prom-
ises can the Free Press make .of any
improvement? Corruption and muni-
cipal extravagance were plainly ap-
parent when the democrats had con-
trol of the city government, and the
intelligent voter need not be told that
both parties are quick to take advan-
tage of their opportunities. If the
Free Press can find no other reason for
a change it had better abandon the
field. Both parties have good men on
their tickets, and the city will not
suffer by the success of either. Every
intelligent tax ayer can afi'oI_'d_ to
abandon his po itics in a municipal
election and vote for the best men.

Here is a clipping from the Deli-mil
Evening Journal that has above an
average amount of good sense in it,
and for that reason we give it place.
When papers of large circulation talk
in this way and talk often the small
politician will l.se his grip. In the
last sentence is condensed the good
sense of the whole article.

Our memory rurfith not back‘ to the

time whcn the unprincipled fraud of it‘
white man was‘ not iinproviiig"ever'y
opportunity ‘to defraud an Indian
young or old, male or female.

The men who more than any others
have made it a. business to ‘circumvent
and beat the Indians are representa-
tives in almost every community, and
tolerated by respectable citizens. _ They
usually hide their business behind
screens. and welcome any and all "sorts
of fellows who can produce a dime for
a drink. While the business of beating
the Indians has not been entirely, con-
fined to men trailickiiig iii whiskey yet
this class of men have been to ‘the
front witliltircwutcr influence to take
advantage of the ignorance and weak-
ness of the Indian race from the cur-
liest settlement of the country.

That Illdliill wars have mostly grown
out of aggn-ssi\'c:icts of while men we
think is very gcncrzilly believe.-d.

We had been disposed to charge to
the white incn who made use of vile
spirilzlalincrziiis to g1‘atif_v his lust of
gain, the coiiscqiieiices of much of the
terrible havoc that has inzirked our
relations with the red maii.

But we find from thc following
clipping that it proper 3.(l_lllStlllE‘1ll of
rzisculity. entitles the legal frzitcrnity
to ii very coiisiderablc siiurc. Well, as
wc think of it :1 little we recover
from our first surprise.

In fact we have only to reincmhcr
that the attorney is expected to make
use of any irregularity in the proceed-
ings, any omission in charges and
specifications, any technicality liow-
ever tri vial, to perpetrate 21 great wrong
by turning loose upon the comnninity a
first-class rascal known to be such by
the court. the attorneys, and the pub-
lic and so far as the attorney can go
in this direction, he does and will go,
and is susiuiiicd by the usages of the
profession.

If govciiinicnt ofllcials were half as
anxious to protect. the lii(li.'-ms from
white men, as they are to hold their
olliclal positions or get better ones, we
should hear much less of liirliaii raids
Ol‘ troublc with the Indians in any
way.

The Apaches have made another suc-
cessful raid and drawn :1 rich prize
from the -Mexicans, with which they
are now making i'0r Arizona. It is
hardly possible, however. that they
will he suffered to retain their plun-
der. The report of Commissioner
Price speaks of a “i'nid” upon the Iii-
dians by white men that ought to
have some attention. It seems that
durin the last four years agreements
have eeii entered into between Iii-
diaiis and different zittoriieys by which
these attorneys were to receive from
the Indians $755,221 for collecting
from the government, money said to
be due the Indians. This sumis more
than was paid lll cash to the Illdlitlls
in the last year. It might facilitate
the solution of the Indian problem to
save them from these tliievish attor-
neys. There is really no desperate act
to which an Indian will not have re-

course when threatened by a lawyer's
bl1l.—1v}.L-chanryc.

THE POCKET MANUAL.

This little book should be in every
family. If it has not everything in
it, it has such a collection of facts so
condensed that it is an exceedingly
useful book. Our enterprising friends
can get this book by doing a little
work for the VISITOR.——See our offer.

Since we have had the management
of the VISITOR the M ester of the
State Grange has from time to time
sentus communications for publica-
tion. Matters of importance to the
Order about which he had knowledge,
we had reason to expect would first
meet the public eye by publication in
the GRANGE VISITOR. But in this it
seems we have been mistaken. We
find in the publicjournals of the State
among the news items, that Hun. Cy-
rus G. Luce was married to Mrs. Mary
E. Thompson at Bronson,on Thursday
the 8th inst. Perhaps Bro. Luce will
be able to explain why this matter so
important to the Patrons of Michigan
was allowed to become public proper-
ty through other channels. His long
and faithful service for the Order,
wherever duty has called will perhaps
relieve him from the charge of inten-
tional wrong in this matter. As we
take in the situation more fully we
begin to see how Bro. Luce may have
had “The Good of the Order” in view
in this new relation.

In the last two years Michigan has
not been fully represented in the Na-
tional Grange having had but one
vote,-and it has come to our knowl-
edge that Mrs.Thompson was a charter
member of Gilead Grange, and having.
proved afaithful Patron, was eligible
to membership in the National Grange
if the necessary conditions were sup-
plied.

In the work of the Order Michigan
stands very nearLv at the head of the
list of Grange States and the Wor-
thy Master in the discharge of his
duty has, a parently for the good of
the Order supplied the necessary
conditions, and 0;; the eve of its next
session provided for Michigan its full
representative strength in the Sni-
preme legislative body of the Order.
Under all the circumstances, thereore
we are inclined to forgive him for this
oversight in not bringing this impor—
iant matter to public notice through
the VISITOR.

NEW STANDARD TIME.

The representatives of over seventy-
fivc thousand miles of railroad at a
convention in September in the city
of Chicago, adopted a new standard of
time to take effect at twelve o’clock on
Sunday, the l8:h inst.

This new standard of time, unlike
the arbitrary orders of each individual
road of the country, is based upon a
system which simplifies and harmon
izes as far as possible the time tables
of all the roads in the country which
as we understand, includes nearly all
of them. The country from the At-
lantic to the Pacific is divided longi-
tudinally into four belts or time dis-
tricts of 15 degrees each, equivalent to
just one hour of time. ' '-

For the eastern division, extendln
as far west as Buffalo and Parkersburg
the time is that of the seven! -fifth
meridian; for the central district
which extends westward beyond Oma-
ha, and includes Cincinnati, the time
is that of the ninetieth meridian. The
next division, oing westward, is
timed by the 105t meridian, and the
Papifio slope division by the 120th me
ri lan.

This to people who keep railroad
time will demand a turning forward or
backward of all time keepers. And
getting “left” or waiting. for the train
will for a few days he in order. We
think, however, this is a movement of
decided advantage both to the railroads
and traveling public.

Chicago, Nov. 7.—Tne quickest di-
vorce on record, even in this city, was
granted to Mrs. Lulu Scannell to-day,
by Judge Smith, fifteen minutes after
the petition had been filed.- The evi-
dence showed that Lulu while yet a
bride of two months detected her hus-
band occupying a room with a female
companion. The faithless groom made
no opposition.

Judge Smith has some judicial- com
mon sense. Where were all the Chi-
cago lawyers?

IN answer to an enquiry of Fenno
and Manning of Boston, as to the
business the firm have done with
Michigan Patrons the past season we
have the assurance that while in
amount; there has. been no increase
over the previous year, the sales have
been satisfactory to all parties inter-
ested. This is as we had supposed, as
no complaint had come to us from
any quarter.

' A suscssnou.

When ‘at the ' State Fair we met
Hon. Henry Chambeilaln. He said
to us that he was on a committee for
testing the samples of dairy products
on exhibition. That he is interested
in this branch of farming was shown
by a communication from him that
appeared in the VISITOR of October
15. He held in his hand at the time
I saw him, a blank form, we think he
said prepared by himself, for the use
of committees engaged in examining
dairy products. He set forth the val-
ue of this ilank by saying that the
USULI course pursued by committees
was in no way educational, and the
opportunity to educate competitors
for premiums on butter exhibits was
mainly lost. An exhibi'or only knew
that he or she got a premium. for best
butter or second best, or not at all as
the case might be, and went home in
entire ignorance of the grounds ‘on
which thei I’ sample was approved or
condemncd.

This blank is prepared with head-
lngs to indicate the several qualities
that belong to butter. Under cach
heading is an arbitrary number to in-
dicate perfection in that particular
quality. The blank shown me run
about as follows:

Of these three entries we will sup-
pose theiii numbered as above. Mr.
John Jones one of the (‘Ullllllll.t€(‘, has
a blank as has each of the other mem-
bers and hisiiidividual opinion is that
the qualities of the several parcels are
as indicated by the figures under the
several headings. When the several
reports are brought together and an

served with a copy.

liaicli exhibitor will in this wziy get
the opinion of :1 conimittcc supposed
to be competent to pass upon the min-
ple of the point of failure as wcll of ex-
cellence in its make.

It strikes 11s that this plan is wortliy
of adoption, subject to such changes
as experience shall indicate. We hope
this or something akin to it that will
leave the butter maker in possessioii of
some basis of improvement will be
adopted by the managers of fairs.

“The Pocket Manual” to any person

FARMERS, ARBITRATE——DON’T LITIGATE.

The law favors arbitration as a
peaceable and inexpensive method of
settling difiiculties. In many of the
States there are statutory provisions
by which a judgment of the court
may be rendered on the award of find-
ing of arbitrators concerninga mat-
ter duly submitted to them. It is al
most always possible to takes case
out of court and submit it to referees
at any stage of its progress. In the
absence of any statutory provisions,
it is always lawful for parties to agree
to submit their differences to arbitra-
tors, and abide by their decision. The
agreement to do so may be either oral
or written, but the latter is the better
way. The form is not essential, ex-
cept that the meaning should be care-
fully expressed. It is customary, in
addi ion to the agreement, for the
parties to execute to each other an ar-
bitration bond, conditioned on each
party performing the award given by
the arbitrators, whatever it may be.
If the award is properly made, it then
becomes binding on the parties —Ex-
change.

Here is a point well taken. it )3 a
cardinal principle of the Order of Pat-
rons of Husbandry, embodied in its
“Declaration of Purposes," and incor-
porated into the fundamental law of
the Order in Michigan. It would be
well for Masters of Subordinate
Granges to call this fact to the atten-
tion of members so often that no one
will plead ignorance of this essential
feature of Grange objects and
purposes. We apprehend that real-
ly few farmers outside the gate
understand this restrictive obligation.
“No member of the Order shall ‘enter
into litigation with another member
of the Order without first having sub-
mitted the cause of difference to the
tribunal already provided in the Or-
der. The word litigation in this By-
Law is defined to mean: The act 01'
process of carrying on 8 will in 8 court
of law or "equity. for the recovery of a
right or claim.”—Paragraph 4, section
4, article 14, By-Laws Michigan State
Grange. _

It is conceded by the legal profes-
sion that ihe influence of the Grange
has diminished litigation in the coun-
try.

Aside from the obvious benefits
growing out ofthis state of things to
the people, there seems to have arisen
a necessity for less litigation as the
courts under the chronic usage of
delay are incapable of keeping up
with the business offered. The only
remedy offered by the profession is
a multiplication of courts. We think
the Graugerls remedy by arbitration

has the sanction of common sense
and economy of time and money and
the result will oftener be just to the
parties than judicial results where
technicalities are worth more in the
case than well proved facts.

Remember the Reports.

Through the columns of the Vis-
rrox I desire to remind the I fiicers of
the Michigan State Grarge that a re-
port will be expected of each of them
at the approaching session of the
Grange. It is hoped that each will
come with it written out, so that the
reports will become a part of the re-
corded proceedings. Suggestions for
the good of the Order based upon the
observations of the year may be cm-
bodied with iiitere-,t and profit.

Brother and sister ofiicers, let us all
try to make this the eleventh, the
most interesting of the many inter-
esiing sessions of the Michigaii State
Grange. C. G. Ll'(‘E, Master.
Gilead, Mich., Nov. 1:2. 1883.

THE DRIVEN WELL CASE.

A few weeks since we refericd to the
driven well swindlers, and the status
of the casein which the State Grange
consented to beccme a party to the
defense in a test suit, and which still
limzeis on the (lm-kct of the U. 5.
District Court at Grand Rapids.

WE have heard of no attempt on
the part of patent right men or their
agents to recover royalty from users
of articles in common use in this State
for the last year until last week.

A Mr. Harrison, of Constantiiie,
writes me that he and several of his
neighbors are ihreateded with suit
by a citizen of that town for making
and using a certain wagon rack.
From his description it seems to us
that we have seen substai tially the
the same rack in use for a dozen years.

This may _be a little annoying to
the parties but the more we have
of this sort of blfltknlflll the sooner
will public opinion become stronger
than patent right attorneys, and Con-
gress will be compelled to grant relief
by amending the patent laws in ac-
cordance with common sense.

decided to adopt the new standard of
time to go into effect next Sunday.

Judge Advocate General Swain ex-
presses the opinion that the president
will ultimately pardon Ma-ion, who
attempted to shoot Guiteau. The pe-

nine hundred thousand signatures.

The oil excitement is running high.
Larger quantities are being f iund. Ex-

the town, Bad Axe, Mich., be changed
to Oilopolis.

The President’s desire to make his
annual message to Congress a read-
able production, interesting from its
news, is not agreeable to the heads of
some of the bureau in the Executive
departments, each of whom naturally
desires that a full account of the oper-
ations of his office shall reach the pub-
lic as early as practicable.

Sanilac county will soon indulge,

robably, in a run of the oil fever. The

ort Huron dr, Northwestern railroad
company is having a big ditch dug
near Trye, in that county, in order to
drain the Trye swamp into Cass river,
and oil ha- oozed out of the banks of
the cutting in 100 or more places. The
find is said to be as promising as that
at Bad Axe. -

In Joliet, Ill., the one thousand
dollar license has been in force for two
years past. The town of twenty thous-

places where liquor is sold, when for-
merly there were one hundred and
seven. Those‘ that remain are con-
ducted in the most orderly manner
for fear of forfeiture. N) drunkards
are harbored; no minors can buy in-
toxicants; the saloons close an hour
before iigidnight, and. never are opened
on Sunday.

Prof. J. P.'.'l£-isell Weob, of St. Joseph.

It consists of a large number of words
and letters printed on separate strips
of card board. with a neat little rack
into which they may be placed so _as
to form sentences. Although the in-
strument is but just manufactured,

uite a large sale has taken place,
,500 having been ordered for the In-

and the fattening of others, it will
not savea great while. I am afraid
many farmers’ horses will show their

The time has come when it becomes
the duty of every farmer to ask him-
self the following questions; Where
is my reaper and mower, hay-rake,
plow, liarrows. cultivator, grain drill,
&c., How many have left some of the
above named farm tools out in the
fields where they were used last, for-
getting that rain and sunshine cause
farm implements to wear out faster
than daily use for what they were in-
tended. It becomes the duty of
every farmer to see that no farm tools
are laying around in the fields as mon-
uments showing wliere the careless
farmer resides. Better erect buildings
for the protection of farm implements
than to own a fast horse, in order to
be recogiiized at the county fair as
one of the progressive farmers of the
county. The tidal wave of public
opinion is fast gaining ground, that
farmers must take more care of farm
tools or be swallowed up by debts
caused through their own negligence

Grange interests are dull here. Tem-

Oats heavy; 114 crop. Wheat may per-

to import and test help before the press

the men have time to become acquaint-

they could see the joyous faces and

My attention has just forcibly been
called to the fact that in very many
homes, where culture and general
good will prevails. that the older
children are allowed to tease the
younger ones, tease them ’till they
are wrought to a perfect frenzy of pas-
sion. I have seen parents laugh then
and say “what a spunky child that
is,” and then all join in a general
laugh at the poor little 'one’s expense.
Now, my heart has ached to see this
abuse and it is abuse that is almost
brutal, and how any parent can thus
see a child tormented and made surly,
cross and ugly that otherwise might

I wish to ask through the columns
of the Vrsrron, all those Patrons who
are interested in saltas a fertilizer, to
request their representative to the
State Grange, to try and bring about
some concentrated effort or decisive
action, in relation to the purchase of
salt for the Patrons of Michigan, at
the lowest possible rates, believing as
I do, judging from the past two years’
experience, that at no distant day the
use of saltas a fertilizer, wi’l greatly
supercede that'of land plaster, espe-
cially in certain sections of the State.
Would it not be a step in the right di-
rectson to try and make some ar-
rangements for a term of years, where-
by Patrons would be able to figure
from a uniform price at some given
point. I have yet to find the man who
having given it a thorough test side

declares in favor of salt, let us hear

from you brothers in this matter.

I will say that No. 248 is alive, and
has its regular meetings every two

delinquent for the past year. but I
think it is owing to our Worthy Sec-

In the “good old time” a lady and
gentleman of fair abilities, equal ac-
complishments ynd social standing
both of unblemished reputation, and
thoroughly upright cliaracter, resid-
ing in the same, neighborhood, lived
for years in the enjoyment of an un-
broken frieiidsliip and mutual confi-
dence. Aiterwards the lady removed
to another State. Time sped onward,
but in its flight left no trace of their
former frieiidsliip.

Alas! they had been friends in youth,

But whispering tongues can poison truth,”

After the lapse of ii few years the
lady returned to her native neighbor-
hood where she went but failed to
recognize her former friend. Deeply
pained and chagrined beyond measure,
but bound by the usages of society,
and the rules of social etiquette, did
not of course press himself upon her
notice but with energy and courage
“bore it through.” A short time after-
ward, one bitter day, driving a sleigh
upon the highway, the gentleman over-
took this lady walking toward the
place of her destination some miles
away,without taking the slightest no-
tice of her except to give her one side
of the track, drove past leaving her to
pursue her own sweet inclinations.

One of our metropolitan journals very
truthfully shows upa modern folly.
The old blanket sheetswith their col-
umns of trash and padding, are, irre-
spective of their bright and enterpris-
ing features, simply an annoyance.
The news is spread out so thin that the
kernel is often almost hopelessly lost,
unless the reader devotes an entire
day to finding it. The insane compe-
tition_ between the managers of the
blanket sheets to see how much white
paper they can spoil each day, has
reached ridiculous limits. They sim-
ply fill up a. dozen columns every morn-
ing with telegrams from nowhere in
particular, about nothing of interest.
Examine any issue of these papers and
you will find enough of this telegraphic
rubbish to disgust any sensible person.
Properly speaking it is not ‘news’ at
all. It is neither of consequence nor of
interest. The small scandals of the
country cross roads, the solemn fights
in never-before-heard-of places, and
all the other police court tittle-tattle of
country villages, cannot properly find
report in the columns of a metropoli-
tan daily.

case with a large majority of the
young in our cities, We agree with her
that parents should make home as
pleasant and attractive as their means
will permit, but when she says that
farm life is one unvarying monotony
of tedious labor, s ie is mistaken; fifty
years ago this statement might have
been true, but now when nearly all
our work is done by machinery, the
farmer boys have an easier, more va-
ried, healthier and progressive lot
than any other class in the nation;
they work less hours and have easier
tasks than mechanics, merchants or
clerks and more time to store their
minds with useful knowledge. Let
the boys stick to the farm, be temper-
ate, virtuous, studious and econom-
ical, and they will have a more hon-
orable, sucoessful and happy life than
any other class in this mighty na-
tion. RI-21’-‘ORMER.
Dowgiac, Nov. 15, ’S3.

“ ‘There are 800 creameries in Iowa
and very few in Michigan. Are we
to understand by this that Iowa
farmers are shrewder and better
posted in how to conduct farm opera-
tions to advantage than Michigan
farmers? Or are the agricultural con-
ditions so different as to account for
the difference in this respect? Who
will rise and explain?’ ”

The above is clipped from the
GRANGE VIsiToa of November 1. I
propose to make a few remarks. The
agricultural conditions of the two
States in this respect are the same.
They make butter from cream in
creamerles, and the creameries sell it
in our large cities on their own reps
tstions, and pay the farmers from 20
to 25 cents per pound in the heart of
the season, reserving the milk, and
we make our butter at home and sell‘
it in our villages for 12 to 15 cents per
pound. Later in the season we get
more, and so do they. In 1882 there
were 500 creameries running in Iowa,
this year they have increased their
number 300, and many of the old
ones have doubled their business. I
have as yet no return, but think the
business has become more than
doubled in the State this year. I
leave the readers of this to judge
which is the shrewdest. I have tried
to get this subject before our county
institute. but have failed. It is a fit
subject for discussion in the Grange.
Trios. B. Loan.
Comstock, Nov. 5, 1883. '
In reply to “C. M. B." regarding
mulching strawberries, and protecting
blackberries, I would say; If you have
l:tI'g8 fields planted on sand, or sand
loam soil, mulching is not necessary to
protect them from the winter. If the
soil is heavy, a mulch of straw, or
course straw manure placed on lightly,
so as not to “stifle,” or cause fermenta-
tion will be beiielicial. The mulch
should be applied late in the season,
about the first of December, and re-
moved early in spring. An application
of phosphate, or compost of hen Ina-
nure and leached ashes sowed on broad-
cast late in autumn, will renovate and
put new life into old strawberry beds.
In regard to blackberiies, if you have
none, plant a few; everybody plant,
and alittle work will protect tender
varieties from the most rigorous win-
ter; plant early Wilson, and Lawton,
they are the best, but must be pro-
tected by layingdown late in the full,
and covering lightly with earth or
straw. The W'ilson is a half running
variety, and is easily laid down and
covered with earth, which is the best
mulch for canes as it will not induce
fermentation, if placed on late in
autumn, and removed in early spring.
The Lawton canes can be covered in
the same manner when young; but
when older the canes will grow too
strong, and must be brought as near
the ground as possible without too
much breaking, when the tops of the
canes will be covered with two or three
shovels full of soil, and the remainder
of the cane covered securely with
straw, care being taken to prevent
breaking down by snow. The early
spring is the best time to plant black-
berries. Order a dozen or two of the
nearest reliable nurseryman; no Gran-
ger can afford to dispense with this do-
licious fruit.

Each proposed form for the worlds advance,
Must stand the fire of trials glance;

Each straggling shoot or useless part.

Is sifted out by uses art.

And Wisdom never calls it strang e,

When rules like these control the Grange.

When first the P. of H. appeared,

An ensign hold on banners reared;
There joined a queer and motly band,
From out thetillers of the land;

And few among them there knew why,
They donned the sash, and sped the cry.

There's farmer A for social light,

For art to gratify the sight;

And B, whose eyes saw naught but gold;
Became then members of the fold.

And C, for political renown,

Saw through the Grange the vote of the

town.

Another joined for moral cause,

To further there the christian laws;
While others temperance work liel l first;
And some for curiosity had thirst,

A few so full of talk so wise,

They'd feed their brethren wisdom pies.

All these and more together met,

And strongly each his way had set.
Each time the Patron wheel want round,.
His kind of grist mustfirst be ground.

No mill at once these grists could grind;
No patron ties these men could bind.

Ere many years had hurried past,

These Patrons bold had scattered fast.
The Grange in count of course had less,
This left on some its cold impress.

Some aged one in his rough way,

Just like the world, would rise and say:

This ’ere infernal sieve must stop,
Or soon we'll take from the Grange each
PTO‘);

We've sifted and we've sifted again,
“ Fill only a few big lumps remain.”
Ah yes! but he did not tell why

So many small ones still hung by.

This sieve was made of moderate stuff,
And held not back the course and rough;
In every Grange or social cause,

Its stays are fixed by N ature’s laws,
Its‘motion can no more be stopped,
Than stars from out the sky be dropped.

Its meshes fine are not like wire.

But woven from a soul's attire,

A selfish, surly, idle man,

Averse to the true Granger plan,

Though monstrous large the holes expand,
He's tumbled through with chaff like band.

Shake on, O sieve of progres- bright;
The Patrons left, will yield more light,
United few will bring by far,

More good than countless hordes at war.
But may more join, the good and stout,
And less and less be sifted out.

WORTHY SECRETARY

If I could paint a picture
Of our fraternal Grange;

And frame it with unfading flowers,
I would ask you to arrange

A place for it upon the wall.
Above the Master's chair;

That all the members of the Grange
Might look upon it there.

Then as their pleasant faces,
Reflacted back the hue;

They gave unto the painting,
I is ould appeal to you.

To write beneath the picture,
These words, Faith Hope, and Trust,
Those watch words of our Order;
That will survive our dust.

To bring us all together;
In the great Grange above;
To share amid unfading blooms,
Perfect, Fraternal love.

Pleasure.

Webster defines pleasure, “As the
gratification of the senses of the mind;

ly desirable, if not altogether a bur-
den.

It pertains to all na'ions, to all
castes, and to all classes of human be-
ings, and may be said to extend down-
ward to the more inferior animals, al-
though tliey are devoid of all percep-
tion to recognizeit.

With some it is called as ll. were
from among the various duties and
avocations of life, while othsrs seek
it, to the entire exclusion of every
other object.

Among these most prominent, are
the gambler and the drunkard, while
the pleasure seeker.-i that roam in thi-
world or congregate at the various
watering places, sir li as Siratoga,
Long Branch Long Beach, Petoskey,
and H()lluU(l, are not altogether ex-
ceptions. Pleasure and taste are often
blended together, as seen in the bean-
tiful churches that Ol"llalllt‘I]t our _cif-
ies. This kind of pleasure, or the
kind that these structures 1n2illlf€Sl,l.~l
every way rightand proper‘, when de-
void ofnll superstitious criieltie.-z, and
every class of superstitious burdens.
The pleasure derived from study or
labor is often so inconsiderately fol-
lowed that health and life itself are
lost in the pursuit. There is af«shion-
able pleasure that manifests itself in
expensive dress 0utfi's, and surround-
ings of every kind, to the exclusion
ofall reas ll], and only in accordance
with perverted taste.
The examples that we are having of
halfa million being expeu led on a
pleasure yacht and its surroundings
illustrates one ofthc excesses of the
present century. If liberty is accord-
ed us, to ask whence the wealth that
afiords these extravagant illustrations
of pleasure-seekers that are becoming
so common with us, we would find an
answer, in the avails of the orchard,
the dairy, and the farm that by a
skillful manipulation have been trans-
ferred from the pockets of the farmer
to the dividends of their various spec-
ulations, for the great mass of wealth
of the world is obtained through the
success of agricultural pursuit.-, by the
tillers of the soil, as the result of ear-
nest persistent, arduous toil, and its
exhibition in any of the various forms
that We find it does not alter it‘ repre-
sentative value of the labor that first
produced it.
Justice and respect always plow ii:
the same channel with an honest pur-
suit of an honorable business; but
when individuals or corporations or
any kind mrinifest their pleasure by
procuring the aid of favorable laws to
aid them in gathering up the hard
earnings of the iiiasse-5 without giv-
ing an equivalent return. we beg leave
to express the opinion that such
transactions afford no pleasure to us.
Then while these Nabobs, these lords
of creation as they seem to style them-
selve , are spending the money, that
scheming and fraudulent speculation
have gathered from your hard earned
stores, should you desire them in
any way to recognize you, you would
receive only surprise, at the rapidity

turn up their beautiful, little aristo-
cratic nose to give emphasis to their
feelingsand expressions of contempt

but extends down to the hours that
they have chosen for their rest and re-
pose, and disturbs their slumbe.-s by
dreams of the m')st hateful and fright-
ful character. They seem to become

LONG LONG AGO.

..:__

Beautiful pictures in memory’s chamber
Denier and fairs: with circling years grow.

Home love and bird song so sweet to remember
In the fast flying veers of the long ,long ago;

As down in the meadow so green and so quiet,
Where the fair lillies and violets grow ,
Where the robin and blue bird make such a

riot 5
With their wild songs so pure in the long
long ago.

Or out in the orchard the apples to gather;
With limbs all adroop bending down to us
so
That lucious and golden to eat them we'd
rather
Those very large apples from long long ago.

How over the barn we then loved to clsmber
To hunt for the eggs with cheeks all sglow;
High up in the hay loft or down in the man-
ger;
In the Halcyon days of long, long ago.

Some kindness or pleasure for wild bleak De-
cember
Kind father was planing his children to
show;
The bright shining hearth tire with glittering
embers,
With chestnuts to roast in the long, long ago.

Loved mother so busy with smile evertender,
With kind words for each, to abide was so
slow;
What csre and what pains, that we might not
offend her
We children for mother took,in the long,long
ago.

Then Ho, for gay Cnristmas and shining
green holly,
And the well filled stockings we hung in a
row, '
The music and good things and games that
were jolly,
That Santa Claus brought in the long, time
ago.

But that long time ago has vanished forever,

Except the thought pictures that memory
shows;

Time draws back the curtain that we may
never

Forget these fair pictures of long. long ago

Review of the United states—Concluded.

With thirteen colonies and three mil-
lion people, our declaration of inde-
pendence came before the world, and
where are we now? A little over a
century has passed, and we have ex-
tended our boundaries from the Atlan-
tic to the Pacific, from the Rio Grande
to the Great Lakes, and the forty-
ninth parallel. We have increased
from thirteen to thirty-eight states,
with a. population of fifty—million.
From eight hundred thousand square
miles,»we have advanced to over three
million. The old world is stillsending
her people to find homes on our soil,
and when our vast territories shall
have become settled, we can easily sup-
porta population of a hundred mil-
_lion.
it The present year will bring to our
shores more than oiie-half million. We
don’t ask them of their nationality, and
we don’t ask them of their religion.
We ask them if they wish to become
citizens of this republic, and we give
them our lands, andwe call them
brothers.

The hardy German, the prudent
Scotchmzin, the Englishman and Irish-
man, all find homes on our soil. They

‘are in all sections of our country. They
are in every avenue of business. In
.the army and navy, in our State Leg-
islatures and in Congress. And they
are worthy to be our adopted sons.
.-Somebody is saying, how about the Chi-
.naman? Well, this nation has con-
.cluded to take the heathen Chinese in
..limited doses. He don't come here to
be a. citizen, he don’t come here to im-
_prove our lands, and make States of our
Territories, and he won't even lay his
bones in our soil. He comes as an
alienaiid serf. I-le brings with him
.unnameable vices, and the most loathe-
some diseases. He is never known to
change either his habits or religion.
He is in a fixed state, and we
don't wau’t anybody on our soil,
who can not make some progress.
Slave labor we have driven from
our soil, and we shall not tolerate Chi-
nese serfdom.

\Ve must have free government, free
schools, and free labor. We give every
citizen achance to sit under his own
vine and fig tree, and slavery shall hide
its head. We have abolished one relic
of barbarism, and we are g0i11g 130 SUP-
press the Mormon. N ot for his relig-
ion, and not for his want of it. but be-
cause he is trying to establish on this
continent the vices practiced in the
days of Solomon and Ahasuerus. I
say we have abolished slavery. and Dre‘
vented dismembership of this republic;
and in so doing have contracted a vast,
nntaxable, bonded debt which must.
and can, and will: be paid; and, after
that, we shall be ready to treat for
wider boundary. _,-By and by England
will get tired of her American posses-
sions, then we shall Pufchase Mann?‘
ha and all the Frazier and Mackenzie
valleys, and so stretch our boundary
from the fortv-ninth parallel, to the
Polar sea. By and by Canada will get
lonesome on this continent, and wish
to throw herself into the arms Of 171113
re%llt1)I1E!1I(1:.tl13.t time comes. We shall not
object, provided she first gets divorced
from Great Britain. We don’t Want

any trouble, and we shall have no
fuss over such a little garden patch.

Alaska! yes, I had forgotten it, we
have some territory on the Behrings
Strait. We purchased that little sum-
mer resort. when Andy Johnson was
president, for seven million two hun-
dred thousand dollars, It was worth
nothing when Russia owned it, but
Uncle Sam has found it rich in mines,
in furs and beautiful scenery. Mexico
unstable and vacillating needs the
strong arm of this republic for a bal-
ance wheel, and peaceably we shall
yet unite the whole of North America
in a free government. We shall also
marry the Atlantic to the Pacific, by a
ship canal, and at the wedding, be
master of ceremonies. If any nations
in Europe wish to found an empire or
kingdom in North America, if any
politician in the United States, any
millionaires or untaxed bondholders
want to be king, emperor, or dictator,
let them all remember the fate of Max-
imilian.

We have become a great and power-
ful nation, offering land, liberty, and
equal rights, to all who seek our shores.
We have increased in agricultural
products, until we can almost feed the
world. We have perfected ourselves
in manufacturing, until our fabrics ri-
val those of Europe. Our ships of
commerce whiten every sea, and our
flag floats unchallenged on all waters.
The inventive genius of our country-
men has become proverbial. The first
steamboat applied to practical purpose
sailed on American waters. The first
passage by steam to Europe, was made
by the steamship Savannah, from New
York to Liverpool, in 1819. Now our
lakcs, rivers and seas float thousands of
steamers, for business and pleasure.
We have invented the telegraph, tele-
phone, lightning rod, cotton-gin, sew-
ing machine, steam plough, and self-
binding reaper. The first railroad in
the United States was built in 1827.
Now we have fifty thousand miles. lVe
can go from New York to SanFrancis-
co in six days,thirty-six hundred miles.
The Atlantic cable is the result of our
skill. We producc wheat, corn, beef,
pork, wool, cotton, sugar, and I am sor-
ry to say tobacco and whiskey. We
have mines of gold, silver, iron, copper
and lead. We have vast forests, and
coal fields for fuel. We have advanced
also in iiitellcctual attainments. Our
common schools are the foundation of
free government. If they are not as
good as they should be it is our own
fault. Yet poor as they are they are
the safeguard of this republic. There
are many ignorant ones; yet most of
us get some knowledge, which prevents
this nation from sinking back to a lev-
el with those ofthc old world. If we
can give our children nothing but a
common school training, let us give
them a course of reading. Reading
history, ancient and modern, biogra-
phies, travels, scientific works, poetry.
and select fiction. And above all let
them read newspapers, political, scien-
tific, and religious. Not the science of
our days; the politics of one party, or
the religion of one denomination. For
if you restrict them thus, they will
grow up intellectually dwarfed and
one-sided. A child or man with plen-
ty of good books to read, cannot be il-
literate.

Seven million children in the United
States attend the public schools. We
have four hundred colleges and uni-
versities among which that of Ann
Arbor is one of the first.

We have over seven thousand news-
papers aud periodicals, and the ten
cylinder printing press prints thirty
thousand sheets an hour. Don't say
then that one paper is enough for you,
or one is all you can read. One news-
paper may be prejudiced, one maytell
falsehoods, but inanumber you may
strike a happy medium and arrive at
the truth upon most subjects. Do you
ask of the good men of our country,
[point you to Washington and Lin-
coln, who combined greatness with
goodness. Do you ask for orators, read
the speeches of Clay and Webster.
For historians and poets I refer you
to the works of Bancroft, Longfellow;
and Whittier. Our schools, churches,
hospitals, and asylums, are scattered
over the length and breadth of this
land. Patrons, I have been running
over our country's history to remind
you that you are citizens of this great
republic, to remind you that you are
reaping what our fathers’ have sown,
to remind you to retain," improve, and
transmit this free government to your
children. Are you indifferent, have
you no time for this subject, then you
are sleeping while your enemy is sow-
ing tares. Space and time will not per-
mit me to say all I wish to in this re-
view. I want to say a little about poli-
tics, but it is forbidden. I want to
show you, brothers how some of the
political frauds look to that half of the
community whom you think unworthy
of the ballot. But you object to this
way of stating the question. You
think we are altogether too good to
vote. That political life is so corrupt,
that you don’t want us to get black-
ened with it. Brothers of Michigan,
thistalkisa particular kind of tafly
which the ladies never take. But if you
are sincere in what you say. and if it is
the truth, thcn it is time you reformed.
It is time you had some clean element
mixed with your political pitch. Now
while not insisting on the right to
vote, we do insist, that you shall stop

putting drunkards and gamblers into

otlice. That the whiskey element shall
not control the town, county and State
elections. ,

And we enter our protest, against
being governed by law. made by wicked
and unprincipled men. Choose hon-
est, upright-, and capable legislators.
and fill your oflices with sober, tem-
perate. and good men, and you will
not hear so much about women's
rights. The past year we have heard
some talk about the landlord and ten-
ant system. Patrons, you have only to
look across the Atlantic to perceive
that it makes the tiller of the soil a
kind otserf. That to be happy and
prosperous, we must own the land we
cultivate. Therefore, keep out of debt.
If your farms are mortgaged, pay off
the claim, if strict economylwill do it,
if not,'scll part of your land and put
the remainder in a higher state of cul-
tivation. Beautify your homes, and
teach your children to love them. To
honor their country and value a free
government, and let us remember that
“Eternal vigilance is the price of lib-
erty.” Mus. Maiiriix M. Scorr.

The Hired Girl.

To some people the above appella-
tion has a very unwelcome sound, and
they almost despise one engaged in
what they think is a menial occupation.
But it isa great mistake and we are
glad that sensible people, those who
are not slaves to caste in society, are
beginning to see this popular error.
The young lady who works in the
kitchen, who prepares good, substantial
food, who knows how to keep house,
possesses accomplishments that are su-
perior to those of knowing only how to
play on the piano, or talk French or
Latin. Much of our happiness and
comfort of life we owe to the hired girl
—slie who is slightcd and regarded as
not good enough to associate with, and
by no means good enough to enter the
dining room and eat with the high-
toncd family. Now does it not seem
straiige that such a state of affairs
should exist when we take into con-
sideration the fact that we are all
hired. The professional man who looks
with disdain upon the faithful domes-
tic, who takes so much pains to pre-
pare his meals aiid iron his linen to
suitliis taste is as much ofa seivant
as she, and yet ‘he does not think so.
He serves the public and she serves in
his family. But the thought never en-
ters his mind that he is a hired man.
Such a position would be beneath his
dignity. In our colleges the professor
is as much a servant as the cook. With
the difference that the work of the
former is more of an intellectual char-
actor, and he gets better paid for his
services, but they both serve. And if
they discharge their duties faithfully
there should be no stigma attached to
e;tlier. Then, too, why should fficwork
of the kitchen be considered of less im-
portance than that of the recitation
room. M ucli of the unhappiness and
misery in our land to-day is the result
of this caste, and depreciating the work
of those who should be encouraged
rather than ignored. Work is honora-
ble and is the road to success, hence it
cannot be low and degrading. Many a
hired girl possesses finer qualities of
mind than her mistress, who dresses in
silks and satins. True worth is often
found among the lowly and obscure.
While some of those who occupy high
positions lack depth to tli-ought and pu-
rity of action. What would this world be
like did we not have the laboring class.
And we should remember that it is not
the work we do nor the position we oc-
cupy that elevates or lowers us, but the
character we put into it. We leave
our impress upon every thing we do.
The hired girl, if she is true and dis-
charges her duties faithfully, deserves
as much honor and respect as the mil-
lionaire, and those who are actuated by
true principle will not withhold it. The
true object of education is to counter-
act these errors and instill higher and
nobler ideas of life.

CONDITION on THE ORDER AND rrs rico-
GRESSIYE WORK.

Froiiiiiiformatioii generously furn-
ished me by the Secretaries of the State
Grangcs, l compile the following items
of interest:

One State Grange has increased its‘
membership during the year 1,205.
Two others have gained 1,000 each. In
addition to these seven have reported
gains, varying from 200 to 60331116111-
hers. Others report an increase of
menibcrship, but figures are not given.
The reports also show that in nine
States there has been a slight diminu-
tion in members, but in most cases ac-
counted for, on the ground of tardiness
of Subordinate Graiigcs in making their
September reports. It is thought that
the closing up of the year will make a
more favorable showing. But a more
certain indication of prosperity is pre-
sented by that unerring thermometer,
the financial condition of the State
Graiigc tl'62tSllI‘l€S. In twenty States
there is an improved condition in their
finances, in four the condition is the
same as one year a o, and only four
report a falling off of receipts.

The records of but few State Granges
show the number of Subordinate Gran-
ges that own the halls they occupy, or
the value of such buildings, grounds
and fixtures. The reports show the
highest per cent. of Grangcs that own

Two of the latter, give as a reason for
not sending them “that they are pub-

was the intention of the
Grange, to have these documents sent
promptly to every Subordinate Grange,
to be used or filed for use when needed,
believing, that in so doing, they
be better appreciated, and receive more
attention than they would by simply
publishing them in grange papers; but if
the latter course will answer the same
purpose much of the expense of print-

TRANSPORTATION.

Mainly through the influence of our
rganization, the Legislatures of 13

States have been induced to enact just
and wholesome laws regulating the
management of railroads within their
borders; and it is generally admitted
that such action has been beneficial not
only to the people at large but to the
companies: restoring confidence and a
better understanding between them.
The “right of a State to limit the amount
of charges by railroad com
fares and freights," has again been af-
firmed in a recent decision by the Su-
preme_ Court of the United States, thus
establishing be

its early history and for which it has so
maiifully contended; and the way has
been cleared not only for preventing un-
just discriminations,—by railroad man-
agers, between individuals and locali-
ties within the State, but to secure and
maintain for the people, benefits from
the roads, commensurate with the fran-
chises granted to the companies.

ford to take any such risk."

This matte)‘ was prcscntcd to the
National Graiige at its lirst annual
S('SSl0ll;A1)l‘ll lilth 1-461», and failed to
receive an iiidorscnicut there. Hence
it appears that the systcin of (‘():Opel'8r
ton which proved such signal failures
and operated so dis:isti'ousl_v to thc Or-
rlcr iirsouie of the Western and South-
crn States did not originate with the
National Grange, but practically, with
the organizing deputies. Mcnibers of
Subordinate (lraiigcs, had become such
bv prmiiiscs of great linaiicial benefits.
Money flowed into the State Grange
ti'casuries which they had paid in fees
and dues, and the demands went up to
the Statctlraiig-es to use it in business
enterprises. Sonic State (lranges yield-
ed to the demand and engaged in mill-
ing and manufacturing enterprises,
with the funds in their treasuries, and
upon thei: own responsibility.

It was not until the National Grange
became a“Rc-prescntativc Body” that
business co-operation received its sanc-
tion and PllC0lll‘.Ig€lllPlll'.. Stale Agents
under boiids for faithful work, were
recommended at the 9th annual ses-
sion, and at the same meeting it resolu-
tion for the establisliment of "National
Business Ageiicies," was defeated by the
decisive vote of tliirty-five to eight. I
call attention tothesc facts, to show
that the National Grange has ever been
conservative on this question of co-op-
eration, and that all systems recom-
mended, or endorsed by it, have been
thoroughly matured and well guarded.
Had the advice of a majority of the
founders of tll6'Ul‘(lel‘. and the recomc
mendations of the National Grange-
been heeded and practiced, these busi-
ness failurcs and calamities would have.
been avoided. The principal cause of
failure, was in placing business enter-~
prises, backed by the funds of the State-
Grange into the hands of agents who-
were wanting in business
and qualifications necessary to manage-
them.

Correct business habits and real co--
operation among the members of our
Order, is as essential to its prosperit
and perpetuit _, as breath is to physicai
life and as in issolubly connected with.
its educational system, as household
economy, the production of crops,
care and management of domestic
animals or beautifyin and adorning
our homes. It canno reasonably be-
expected that persons who have had
no practical experience or special»
training in mercantile business
milling or manufacturing, can be
qualified to successfully manage such
enterprises. Business men do not spring
up like mushrooms, but grow like the

TARIFF.

The following resolution was adopted

by -this body at its last annual ses-
sion:
: “Resolved, That all discussions relat-
ing to the tariff, as a question of politi-
cal econoxny, are legitimate questions,
and we recommend that such an inves-
tigation and discussion of these mat-
ters be made as will furnish our inem-
bers with a more intelligent considera-
tion of a subject which involves the
vital iiiterests_ of the agriculturist, and
that all such discussions must be with-
out partizan political bias."

Quite an animated discussion, not
only in the Subordiiiate and County
Granges, but at public meetings and
through the Grange press, has followed
this action; and it is gratifying to know
that they have been, generally, con-
ducted in a frateriial spirit, and as free
from partisan bias as could have been
expected. I am confident that no in-
jury to the work of our Order has re-
sulted from this act of the .\'ational
Grange; and in view of the fact that
since that meeting, Congress has so
amended the tariff laws, as to seriously
injure if not entirely ruin one of the
most important agriciiltural industries
of our country; I regard it as fortunate
indeed. that this recommendation was
made. I make no apology tlierefore,
in calling your attention to this sub-
ject.

By our tarifflaws, a tax or duty is
levied upon the products of other coiin-
tries, imported ihto this, from which
the revenues of the government are
mainly derived. As a general proposi-
tion, this tax upon foreign products,
coming into the market of this country
in competition with its products, must
be in some degree protective to the lat-
ter, and consequently enhances their
market value. This additional cost is
paid by the consumer, in lieu of other
taxes for the support of the govern-
ment. This system f'or providing rev-
enue, is practiced by all civilized and
progressive nations. _ _ _

Free trade would abolish all tariff
laws, custom houses, and oflicers, and
allow all other nations to sell their
products in our market, wit_ho_ut re-
striction. This would be giving to
‘other nations, privileges not granted to
us; and would take from the revenue
of the government, tliree-fiftlis of
the gross receipts. To supply this do-
ficit would necessitate a direct annual
tax upon the property of the people,
amounting in the aggregate to 34.20
per capita of our entire population. ex-
clusive of the expense of assessing and
collecting the same. As it_has been
OITICTEIII)’ estimated that ninety per
cent of the personal property of the
country escapes taxation, this burden
would fall most heavily upon fariners
who own most of the real and personal

estate, which cannot be screened from

the assessors eye. For these reasons
if no other, farmers are not likely to
become advocates of absolute “Free
Trade.” But few intelligent citizens
among us seriously entertain such
ideas. Nearly all concede that we
must have a “Tariff for Revenue."
Hence, the term “Free Trade,” as used
in our American politics is amisno-

’ l'll(.‘I'.

The (lovcrnment must have reve-
nue. and to obtain it without im-
posing bnrdeiis upon the people, will
require wiser statesmanship than we
are likely to have; and so long as
revenue is to be obtained by imposing
duties on foreign imports, thesystein
must be one, not only of taxation but
of protection. The important question
then, seems to be, how can these bene-
fits and burdens be most equally and
justly distributed? The _ great
evil in our present Tariff, is
in its unjust discrimination. _A
"High Protective Tariff,” which
builds up monopolies by imposing un-
due burdens upon the people at arge,
is high-handed oppression: so a. low
tariff which cripples home industries
and oppressive labor, is equally disas-
trous, not only to individual, but na-
tional prosperily. The great objects
to be accomplished by our tariff laws,
should be, to furnish revenue, and‘_nat
the same time give reasonable and im-
partial encouragement, as far as prac-
ticable, to every legitimate industry,
and develop every resource of our
country; and thus, in the language of
our Declaration of Purposes, establish
“Proper equality, equity, and fair-
.1ie.ss; protection for the weak; restraint
upon the strong; in short, justly dis-
tributed burdens cmdjustly distributed
power.”

The nation's wealth is in the soil,

' and general prosperity depends upon

its productiveness. If the great arm
of agriculture is weakened or paralyzed,

' all trade, commerce, and manufactures

must suffer_and decline. Hence legis-
lation which cripples any important
branch of agriculture, and takes from
the cultivator of th soil the means of
keeping up its fert ity, is not only an
act of injustice to the farmers, but
detrimental to the interests of the
whole people and the nation's welfare.

Sheep-husbandry is one of the most
important agricultural interests of this
country, and absolptely necessary in

*many sections to enable farmers
to keep up the fertility of the
soil. Flocks of sheep are the

best and most available means accessi-
ble to the great mass of farmers of this

‘ '-“coiintry, for renovating and increasing

the productiveness of their farms:
They destroy noxious weeds, glean the

‘ fields, pack the soil, and return much

of value to it. This industry has been
encouraged and built up, mainly by the
Tariff acts of Congress, for the_reason
that wool cannot be produced in this
country with our_wel1 paid labor, and
expensive wintering of sheep, as cheap-
ly as it can in the warmer countries _of
{‘outh America, Africa, and Australia,
where cheap labor and perennial pas-

tures abound. The wool production

has been nearly doubled, since the en-
couragement it received by the tariff
act of 1867 ; although the interest was
greatlv demoralized by the act Of 1872
Which"reduced the market price of our
Wool below the cost of production, but
gradually recovered to nearlyits former
prosperity, after the restoration of the
duty by Congress in i874. And yet
the price of wool in this country has
ruled too low, to pay the producer any-
thing above a moderate profit on the

cost of production for the last ten.

years
There seems to have been no good
reason for the reduction of the duty

by the last Congress. It‘ reduced the

price receivedby our farmers for this
yea'r’s“clip on an average, five-cents
upon every pound produced in this
country, amouiiting in the aggregate
to a tax of over $'15,000,()00 aroitrai‘ily
assessed‘ upon‘ this agricultural product
alone. The farmers are that amount
poorer, and that sum of money has been
taken from the legitimate channels of
business. In consequence of this, all
business and labor have suffered, and
whether any corresponding benefit has
resulted to any class of our people, ex-
cept the importers, speculators and
manufacturers, is extremely doubtful.
As a revenue measure, there could have
been no necessityfor it. In a repo-t
made by fleiieral Garfield, when a ineiii-
ber of Congress in l8.~<0, he said. “As a
revenue measure, the tariff of 18157 on
wool and woolens, has been very effec-
tive, having produced .~,‘-‘~3f‘io,oo0.f)oo of
revenue in the last thirteen years, an
average of :'52s,ooo,oo<) per aiinuin.”
Whatever difference of opinion may
exist among the members of this body
on the question of “revenue” and “pro-
tection,” it does not seem possible that
there can be any division upon this
question; aiidl am confident that no?
one act can be done, that will be i'eceiv-I
ed with more satisfuctioii by our IIl(~'lll- ‘
hers, or inspire more confidence in our ,
Order and among farmers and T)llSlllf‘.*‘.s‘ i
men generally, than for this Nutioiial,
flrange to unite its infliicnce with that '
of the .\'ational Wool-(‘rrowers Conven-
tion which recently assembled in (7hi-
cago. and l'€S[)f-'('.tfllIT_'v' ask the Congress
soon to assemble to restore the duty on
wool taken off by the last (.‘ong1‘ess and
thus right this great wrong.
Govi~:iiN)Ii~:i~:TAI. All) To A(;l:l('lTL'l‘L'ltF.,I

The history of the human race, has
fully demonstrated the importance of
Agriculture to general prosperity.
From the earliest period of man’s ex-,
istence upon the earth, down through i
the ages of the present time, all prog-‘
ress in civilization, the developinent of’
sciences and the arts, and the rise
and fall of Nations, has been marked at
every period of the world's history by
the importance and encouragement thal
has-i been given to the cultivation of the
sol .

’l‘lie earth is, in fact, Nature’s great
store-house, from which by intelligent
and well-directed labor, man derives
not only the necessaries, but the choic-
est blessings and coinforts of life, and
the main inspiration to moral and in-
tellcctual &Tf'VeT()pm€llI. A missionary
who has spent many years in heathen
lands has said: “You must send the
intelligent f'arinei' and iinproved plow _i
and other agricultural llllplelllvllfsl
with the iiiissioiiai'y,” The heatlicn ‘
lands need to he plowed up, deeply
subsoiled, planted and sowed, and with
each returning harvest, will be gatlier-
ed a crop of new ideas; and the dull
beclonded intellecfs of iliat benighted
people, will then begin to act, and they
will better understand the plan of hi-
vine Wisdoin for cducatiiig, civili;/.ing
and cliristiaiiizing the lium-.in family.

Of the iinpoi't'.iiicc which Agricul-
ture bears to National prospei‘ity. l)r.
Jolinson said: “Agricultui'e not only
gives riches to a nation, but the onl_v
riches she can call her own." Wash-
ingtoii said: I know of no pursuit in
which iiiore real and important service
can bereiidei'ed to any couiit.r_v than
by iinproviiig its agricultui'e." .I«-ffi-i'—
son said: “Agriculture is the highest
calling of man and the surest road and
safeguard to a nation's prosperity and
liberty.” -And yet, there is scaicely
another civilized nation but what
does more to aid and eiicoiir-
age its agriculture than the l’ni-
tcd States. In 1.977, Fi‘aiice ap-
propriated for the support of :\gricul-
ture and (‘-ommerce over $2o,ooo,ooo;
Russia for agriculture and public
lands nearly >31.3,<_io(),ooo; Austria. and
Iluiigary, for agriculture alone, 55,-
5oo,ooo; Great llritain >'5soo,t)oi): .\'\\'c-
den >;~'o.'i(),00o; the T'i1ited Slates for the
same year appropriated $174, oso.

It will thus be seen that lliissia, our
greatest competitor in the inarket of
the world for -\.gi'iciiltiii'al products
spends, for the aid of ln-i‘ .-\gi'iciiltiIi‘e
and care of her public laiids, seventy
times as much as this count,ry, and
little Sweden three times as much, as
this great nation does for the support
of the industry upon which its pros-
perity and perpetuity depeiids.

These appropi'iations among the
progressive Eiiropeaii nations, are
used, principally, for the support of
National Agricultural Departineiits.
Experiment Stations, with model
farms attached, Stock farms and
Dair farms, Agricultural Colleges
and ‘arm schools ; and for disseminat-
ing information relating to practical
and scientific agriculture; all aiming
to increase the fertility of the soil, and
the amount and value of its products;
and these results have been fully real-
ized. Both wise political economy and
sound financial polic ’Se€lIl to demand
that such aid shoul be given to the
Agriculture of this country, as may be
necessary to, produce like results. I
desire to direct ‘attention to what I
have said upon this .( uestion, in pre-
vious communications o this body.

PATENT RIGHT QUESTION.

The bill to amend the Patent Laws,
so as to give some degree of protection
to innocent purchasers of patented ar-
ticles, which passed the House of Rep-
resentatives, and was lying in the
hands of the Senate Committee, at the
time of our last meeting, has not been
favorably heard from, and consequent-
ly no relief has been given to the peo-
ple, except that experienced from the
apparent suspension of work among
patent right claimants in com-
mencing new suits, and startling
schemes of extortion._ Can it be that
this is strategy on their part, to quiet

ublic indignation, and thus defeat

egislation? It is encoufaging, how-
ever, to know that in the meantime
the Iowa court has made a decision in
the “Driven Well Case,” favorable to
the people; and which savors so much
of justice, that it is confidently believed
that it will be confirmed by the Supreme
Court, should it be carried up to that
body. We should not cease to agitate
this question, until the people's rights
are secured by an amended law.

AGRICULTURAL FAIRS.

“Agricultural societies have done
mucii good by establishing fairs; yet
these are generally the work of a few
right minded, enthusiastic men, aided
sometimes by aspiring politicians. At
these fairs the great attractions gener-
ally are implements and works of art,
while the products of the soil offer the
least attraction; and to bring farmers
out in any numbers, it is actually iie-
cessary to introduce as a prominent
feature, horse races and numerous
side shows.”

The above is from the first paper is-

sued by the founders, defining the pur-

;'.' .: - : -3‘-9 ..

poses of the Order. and is followed by
‘sugg stions for revolutiiinizing these
fairs. .    _ . _

Any one wlio"haslobservedjthegrow-
ing tendency of our'f_airs, has not failed
to be convinced‘ that many of thelli
have cut loose from their sheet anchor,
agriculture. and have"become places
for mere recreation, ainuseineni, gamb-‘
ling and horse racing, where betting
and pool-selling are practiced openly,
and with the full permission and en-
dorsement of those managing and

controlling them. Thousands of
dollars are taken at a single fair,
in fees for licenses granted to

gambling and other deinor.-ilizing in-
stitutions,to be run and operated upon
the grounds during the fair.

The tendency of this is, to popular-
ize aiid encourage gambling and im-
morality. Young men and boys are
enticed into these practices, and not
only robbed of their money, but often
of moral cliarzicter and iirinhood as
well. If it is true, as is i-lairned by
some of the managers, that public
fairs cannot be sustained without re-

Yet in dreams of the night it still looks the
same ‘

As if time had not passed with its mold and

its vdust.

And the voices of my mother I hen once
‘ again.
As she bends o'er my couch in the Itillness
of night
And the days of my childhood return once
again
With the message she brings from the re-
gions of light.

And my own deueat friends who I0 sweetly re-
pone
Where the evergreen pine wave: its leaves o'er
their head
Return to my home mid the darkness and
gloom
From that far away country the land of the
dead

And while age dim: my vision my lock: turn
to Ems’.
, _ _A,,di_'eau:i,o,f a home in the land of the blast
And the sun in my life grows brighter each day
As it slowly recedes o'er the hills of the west.

November Days.
Dear Nieces and Nephewa: Pleas-

ant days in November should be ac-
cepted like a great many other things
in this world, without hesitating to
question whence they come or how or
why, since to stop to interrogate,
c.rifici‘e or analyze. some tillhgs is to
let them slip txhrough _)'L-UT‘ ling;-.-rs.
E abcirule giiepi-mlioiss In - 1 joy prof-
fered sweets, so ofeii end jdbt as the
sweets liav. scurcd.

Plea ant days at any other time of

the year I accept as a ha-rural
L‘I)n:«:(1ll\-Dtte, arising from the po-
sition of our planet in re-
lation to the sun. But when they

coiiie in "drear November,” fliI‘_v al-
ways strike me as 8 special favor, and
Iain conscious of a feeling of grail
nude in proportion to their warmth
and beauty. But let us not forget
while basking in this belated sunshine
that there is a long winter, the inheri-
tance of all dwellers in northern
climes, not far off.

Those ofyou who intend to spend it
in -.chool have your plans already laid.
Those who do not should adopt some
,of the many methods oflered for intel-
lectual improvement outside of our
schools. At the same time I hope all
will occasional-ly remember the De-
partment for it is greatly in ineed of
some attention.‘ ' ’ '

Arid this reininds me what has be-
come of our, poet‘? Have not heard
from him fora long, long time.‘ and I
want to say to him.

“But thanks to praise ye’i-e i‘ your prime.

And may chant on this Tang, long time,

For let me tell you ‘twat a crime

To hand your tongue;
WT’ sie a knack’s ye has to rhyme,

And ye sac young.”
AUNT PBUE.

A Glance in the Art Loan.

I can open my catalogue, now that
November is here and I know how
vain are all my desires to see again.
those picture covered walls. Not al-
together valn, either. for, if I shut my
eyes a moment, it stands before me in
all its fascination, and sends through
me the same thrill of delight as it did
a few days ago, when, in reality I
stood for the first time in a large art
gallery.

Those who have not improved the
opportunity of seeing the finest collec-
tion of paintings in the West, that
has been afforded this autumn by the
Detroit Art Loan Association, should
never cease to l'( gret it.

Entering the double entrance doors

 

and having divested ourselves of all
unnecesaarywraps, with pencil and
catalogue in hand, we stood confront-
ed by pictures to the right, pictures to
the left,-pictures in front.-of us. with
no beginning and without and.

It is not possible to put in words the
feelings one felt in looking over such
hosts of gems from master hands, min-
gled as they were with no respect to
size or subject, full length or minis
ture, grave or gay. Before some we
stood in awe, not, perhaps, because of
any deep artistic perception of merito-
rious value, but in respectful consid-
eration of the ciphers in the annexed
price. For, like many another of the
enrapted throng who moved through
those eighteen treasure rooms, our
party left criticism without, and took
with us only an eye for the beautiful
and “true to nature,” standing long-
est before those which dovetailed most
firmly into the labyrinth of our likes
and dislikes, and carrying away
clearer ideas of those.

Such an one was “The Winning
Yacht” at the extreme left of the first
entered rbom. Again and again did I
wander to 8 place before it and enjoy
its colorings. A trim yacht, bold in
the light of the moon just breaking
through the clouds above it, is hear-
ing down in advance of its ffar dis-
tanced rival. The lights from the
prow of either vessel are reflected on
the crest of every ripple, making al-
ternatingpaths of blue and red by the
side of the broader flow of moon-
beams, caughtby the some waves and
fairly dancing in their beauty.

Above this hung “Abandoning the
Jeannette” by the same artist, an ex-
act portrait of the ship as left in its
icy field June 12,‘ ’81. Near these in
an almost unnoticed nook, was anoth-
er little favorite. It was at ‘'Sunset,’’
but only through the ragged rents in
the heavy cloud curtain could the
splendor of the declining “King of
Day” be seen.

It s. emed is if every mood of’ every
condition, of all ages, was somewhere
represented in this maze of studies,
from the oaintiest of baby faces seen
in the “Wayside Devotions,” and
“Evening Prayer” to the old bent
form in “Memories of the Post.” This
latter denianded a second glance even
in a hurried survey of all. ‘Grandpapa
satin his olden chair, dreaming evi-
dently, from his expression, of hap-
pier by-gone hours. What memories
can the old carpet bag, by his side,'re-
call, youths of today may not E:‘onjeo-
ture. His‘ fur-rimmed cap, his red
bandana, green umbrella, and warped,
unturned boots, with nails so plainly
visible, all apparently, were as time-
worn as his silvered beard.‘

Among the larger pieces which drew
special attention, and have been no-
ticed by every mention of this on dis-
play, were “Edwin Booth,” as Ham-
let” “Trial of Red Jacket,” (an art
galleryin its-lf.) The “Crucifixion.”
also those by the Cobb brothers, v:'z.:
“Washington on Dorchester Heights,”
the temperance picture in black std
VT hite, “For Their Sakes,” Christ be-
fore Pilate”, and "The Last Supper."
Br-Fillies these, as they come to my
mind with individual distinctness, I
can feel the eyes of“Jlm Bludso,” the
brave pilot, as they burnt with an en-
ergy born of despair. I can see his
bared muscular arm and brawny
cheek lighted by the glare from
the Tlllrl: ing ship. Another face, while
not holding th- attention as intensely,

yet still haunting, was that of Sibyl in

room S

“Niagara. in winter," held one for-
getful ofa-.ight else until it seemed as

ifthe sol’. touches of sunlight -had

stolen out and may tipped the very

surroundings without the frame. Em-

erson has said, “To paint a tree, one

ivu.-if b. come, in part, atree.” Added

purify ,1 see ‘, must it. be then to im-

bibe tbe 0,’--lilrle gs seen in this spotless

piece.

“Pl 9 Fifi-‘I. Sorrow," a little lad

bu: TIN»: ii. his hand a dead bird, tells

it.~i~.vvn .~'.ur_y and moral suggestions.

~- Poo Ho." would have paid you

for the laugh it would have given

you, but, like hosts of others, clamor-

ing for recognition all at once, it

would be “spoilt in the telling.”

You must see “The Accomplished

Scholar,” carefully naming over his

a bole, to appreciate the admiration

and wonder in the faces of the old

people watching him.

Ah, but what use? I but torment

myself and you by an attempt to give
even the most meager pen sketchesof
that which was there portrayed in its
minutest detail ‘of form and coloring.
How can words give an idea of those
tumultuous ocean scenes, quiet au-

tumn. sunset‘, moonlit, morning or
twilight views, lovely forest nooks
and sylvan walks, of those grazing
flocks “on a thousand hills,” of those
faces, from alive with passion to ear-
nestly grave‘? Even now, not a word
of our sweetest love messengers, the
dainty flowers, have I said. But they,
too, were there, almost with the dew
upon some of them, scattered about.
brightening this or that corner, fulfill-
ing their heavenly mission to purify
and beautify.

The second day brought soberer
thoughts, at least, more collected, I
trust, and resulted in a selection and
study of special favorites, and, too, a
hasty tour of “sight-seeing" in other

de jtments than those devoted ex-

clusively to oil painvings In corri-
dor M one would rain have speutfithe
time allotted a'l. Rare was the exhi-
bition 0f“Blac.. -mil \Vhiles," loaned
by “The UeIitur_\‘," and in the cases
below were displayed the dinner set
of decorated china awarded the pre-
mium at the Mexican and Atlanta
Cotton expositions.

Rich textiles in every form were
seen in room X, which room indeed,
contained almost all heart could de-
sire or imagination concoct, from a
“cut. glass smelling bottle" to a
“Painting on Cobweb."

The lover of the antique could revel
in the Colonial room amid all the ac-
cessories ofa home in the "long, long
ago.” But he must. have found the
wandering ghosts of busy sight-sears
sadly in keeping with his beloved ar-
ticles of anti-historical days.

VVell for the above referred to sight-
viewers however, that cu-tom, for
the time, dispenses with that won-
drous, and pondrous as wondrous,
“calash” there exhibited, else little
of the rare “Art Loan” would have
received appreciation. GRACE.

U.\'l£ oi" the lessons which young
people have to learn by expo-rieiice is
the power of deeds and w.irds.

the merits of proprietary medicines,
but the Woman’s Friend, Zn Photo

my wife in her last two COI.IT.'I‘Ie[!]8I1t3
of the unufterable agony which at-
tended her first labor. She used the
Friend for about one month previous
to expected confinement, and, to use

her own language, “would not be
without it, under such circumstances,
for the world.” J H P.
